  • "Best known for his best-selling novel, Babe, which was made into a major motion picture, Dick King-Smith draws on his over 14 years of experience on Woodlands Farm to create this thoughtful and humorous memoir. His time on the farm inspired countless stories as well as the numerous lovable characters found in them. In Chewing the Cud, he candidly talks about what moved him to become a children's author."@en

  • "Dick King-Smith, author of "Babe" was in his 70's when the film version charmed the world. Few people knew that the author was an unassuming man whose failure as a farmer was largely due to the fact that he just loved his animals too much. This is the story of a down-to-earth countryman and a community that has all but vanished."@en
